Definitions

  • the invention relates to security storage boxes of the kind disclosed in Patent Specifications US-A-4,405,057 and US-A-4,470,518, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • a security storage box for papers of a similar size having: a one-piece moulded synthetic resin open-topped container having opposed generally parallel side walls, opposed generally parallel end walls, and a rectangular bottom wall; the upper edge portions of the side and end walls formed with integral outwardly extending horizontal flanges connected together around substantially the entire upper periphery of the container to constitute container side and end flanges, a plurality of through container side apertures; in the container side flanges; a lid separate from the container and integrally moulded from synthetic resin in one piece, the lid being of a size and a rectangular shape to close the open top of the container and having a peripheral lid flange overlying the container flanges and integrally formed with a plurality of lid side hooks depending in alignment with and to extend through the through container side apertures; the lid side hooks and the through container side apertures of a size and shape such that, in a disengaged position, the lid may be translated vertically
  • the means for breaking are weakened portions connecting the or each lid end hook with the remainder of the lid.
  • the weakened portions are notch sensitive areas assuming substantially the full dimension of the integral transition from the or each lid end hook to the remainder of the lid.
  • a storage box for papers of similar size such as cheques having: a one piece moulded synthetic resin opening top container having opposed generally parallel side walls, opposed generally parallel end walls and a rectangular bottom wall; a lid separable from the container and integrally moulded from synthetic resin in one piece of a size and rectangular shape to close the open top of the container; and horizontal peripheral top flanges on the container and the lid overlying each other; characterised by hollow inwardly opening buttresses extending from a container peripheral flange and towards the bottom wall on the side and end walls of the container, the hollow buttresses providing inwardly opening downwardly narrowing wedge shaped slots; and a plurality of partitions extending vertically between the side and end walls to partition the interior of the box, the partitions having opposed outer ends received within and of a complementary wedge-shape with respect to respective ones of the slots, so that the co-operating wedge shapes of the slots and ends will tightly hold the partitions.
  • the security storage box is designed to be used by commercial paper establishments, such as banks, for the storage, sorting, viewing and transport of financial papers, for example, cheques and/or currency notes.
  • the box is composed of only two parts, namely a one piece moulded synthetic resin open topped container 1 and a separate one piece moulded synthetic resin lid 2.
  • the container has opposed generally parallel and rectangular end walls 3, 4, opposed generally parallel and rectangular side walls 5, 6 and a rectangular bottom wall 7.
  • the upper edge portions of the side walls 5, 6 and the end walls 3, 4 include integrally formed outwardly extending horizontal flanges 8, 9, 10, 11, respectively, that are connected together around substantially the entire upper periphery of the container, thus forming the container side flanges 8, 9 and the container end flanges 10, 11.
  • the container side flanges 8, 9 have a plurality of through container apertures 12, particularly five on each side. Even though the lid 2 completely covers the container 1, since the lid 2 is constructed of transparent material the structure of the container 1 beneath is visible in Figure 1.
  • the lid 2 is of a size and rectangular shape to close the open top of the container 1.
  • the lid 2 has a lid flange or more particularly four lid flanges 13, 14, 15, 16 that are horizontal and respectively overlie the flanges 8, 9, 10, 11 of the container.
  • the lid 2 is also provided with a plurality of lid side hooks 17 each downwardly depending in one piece in alignment with the respective one of the container apertures 12.
  • the hooks 17 extend through each of the container apertures 12.
  • the lid side hooks 17 and through container apertures 12 are of such a size and shape that, in a disengaged position, the hooks 17 are vertically spaced above the apertures 12. From this disengaged position (not shown), the lid 2 may be translated vertically downwardly to a closed position on the container 1 with the lid side hooks 17 extending completely through the container apertures 12. This closed position is also not shown in the drawings.
  • the lid may be translated horizontally parallel to the side walls 5, 6 towards the end wall 4 to engage the lid side hooks 17 beneath portions of the container flanges 8, 9 to assume the locked position that is shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11.
  • the lid preferably is provided with a recessed planar main middle portion 18, and peripheral vertical flanges 19 extending upwardly from the main portion 18, with the upper part of the vertical flanges 19 being integrally connected with the horizontal flanges 13, 14, 15, 16.
  • the flange 15 has an upper horizontal portion 15 ⁇ , Figure 10, which is in the same plane as the flanges 13, 14 and 16.
  • the portion 15 ⁇ is connected to a lower horizontal portion 15 ⁇ by a vertical flange 15′′′.
  • the container flange 10 is below the flanges 8, 9, 11 by a corresponding amount.
  • Triangular shaped vertically extending buttresses 20 are provided between the outer surface of the flange 15′′′ and the upper surface of the flange 15", for reinforcement purposes. Particularly, the buttresses 20 prevent, for security reasons, the flange 15 ⁇ from being bent upwardly.
  • the lid is provided with a plurality of lid hooks 21 integral with the remainder of the lid and extending coplanar with the middle portion 18 outwardly beyond the vertical flanges 19 to extend beneath the container flange 11 in the locked position.
  • the hooks 21 may be omitted if desired.
  • the horizontal lid flange 16 is provided with a plurality of aligned through security apertures 22 that may be conventional and are preferably of triangular or truncated triangular shape.
  • the apertures 22, in the locked position align vertically with correspondingly shaped apertures 23 in the flange 11 of the container adjacent the end wall 4.
  • Security ties may be of many different known kinds for example a strap, a lock, or a rivet.
  • a rivet (not shown) is employed that is provided with a top head, a shank passing through the apertures 22, 23 and of identical external dimensions with the internal dimension of the apertures 22, 23 and a closely fitting bottom head. This will prevent any horizontal or vertical movement between the flanges 11, 16.
  • the security tie and security aperturs may be of a conventional kind. Because of the security tie and the apertures 22, 23, the hook 21 is not essential. As shown in Figure 9, the outer edge of the flange 11 is provided with a downwardly extending flange 24.
  • the horizontal flanges 8, 9, at their outer edge, are provided with downwardly extending reinforcing vertical flanges 25.
  • the side flanges 13, 14 of the lid are provided at their outer edges with downwardly extending side flanges 26.
  • a plurality of similar buttresses 28 may be provided, but such buttresses 28 are hollow as shown in Figures 13 and 15 and open inwardly of the box to provide vertical slots along the inner portions of the side walls 3, 4 and the end walls 5, 6.
  • Removable partitions 29, Figures 12 and 14 have their outer ends received in these slots, preferably in a wedging manner, to partition the interior of the box.
  • the slots 28 are of decreasing width in the downward direction and the end portion of each of the partitions 29 has a wedge member 30 that is wedgingly received within the correspondingly shaped slot 28. In this manner, the partitions are tightly held in place.
  • the lid In its locked position, the lid co-operates with the container to provide a labrinthine route from the exterior to the interior to prevent the withdrawal of papers.
  • the lid flanges 26, 13, 14 and 19 present side downwardly opening channels into which telescope the upper portions of the side walls 5, 6 and which permit the relative sliding motion horizontally between the lid and container when moving from the closed position to the locked position.
  • the flanges 11 and 16 are close to each other. Cut outs are provided in the top portion of the rear end wall 4 to permit passage of the lid hooks 21, and these cut outs are protected by the flange 24 from access.
  • the flanges 11, 16 can have almost no movement relative to each other due to the tight engagement of the ties within the apertures 22, 23.
  • the container flanges 8, 9 and 11 are all at the same height, that is they are substantially coplanar.
  • the lid flanges 13, 14, 15 ⁇ and 16 are correspondingly coplanar.
  • the lid flanges 13, 14 and 16 generally engage the corresponding container flanges 8, 9 and 11.
  • the container flange 10 is shown at a height considerably lower than the container flanges 8, 9 and 11.
  • the lid flange 15 ⁇ is lower, by the same amount, than the lid flanges 15 ⁇ , 13, 14 and 16.
  • the flanges 15 ⁇ and 10 substantially engage each other.
  • the lid flange 15 ⁇ is lower than the lid middle portion 18, the container is provided with a vertical abutment flange 32 whose outside surface will engage the inside surface of the vertical lid flange 15′′′ to help provide a circuitous path to the interior of the box when the lid is in the locked position.
  • the difference in height between the lid central portion 18 and the lid flange 15 ⁇ is preferably equal to the height of the abutment flange 32.
  • the lid 2 can be provided with a skirt flange 33 that extends vertically adjacent a container skirt flange 34 in the locked position.
  • the container skirt flange 34 is interrupted to provide notches 35 defined by the flange 10 and to provide notch flanges 36 that extend from the skirt flange 34 parallel to the side walls to the front end wall 3 for enforcement.
  • Lid hooks 37 each have a horizontal leg portion 38 that is of a width substantially equal to the width of one of the notches 35 and of a length substantially equal to the length of the flanges 36 to underlie the flange 10 in the locked position.
  • the hooks 37 have a vertical leg 39 integrally and strongly connected to the horizontal leg 38, which vertical leg 39 will effectively close the area of the respective notch 35.
  • the vertical leg 39 is coplanar with the lid skirt flange 33 and connected thereto by weakened portions 40.
  • the weakened portions 40 are the only connection between the hooks 37 and the remainder of the lid.
  • the weakened portions 40 are particularly formed by vertically extending V-shaped notches as indicated.
  • the weakened portions 40 are such that with the lid 2 in its locked position and secured at the rear end by security ties through the apertures 22, 23 the front end cannot be "unzipped” without breaking the weakened portions 40.
  • the weakened portions 40 provide a tamper indicator that would indicate if an attempt had been made to force apart the lid and the container with a force sufficiently great that unzipping would be successful were it not for the weakened portions 40. It is particularly desirable to have the weakened portions 40 between the vertical leg 39 and the skirt portion 33, so that the entire hook, 38, 39 will be broken off to provide a readily viewable tamper indicator, particularly which is viewable from the top or from the end of the box.
  • the tamper indicator could only be viewed from the bottom of the box and tampering would not be so obvious.
  • the width of the skirt flange 34 between the notches 35 is substantially equal to the width of the notches 35 and hooks 37.
  • the buttresses 20 extend only in the area of the skirt portions 33 between the hooks 37.
  • the lid 2 is transparent to permit viewing of the documents within the box and to make tampering more visible.
